451+ [ ecs_bench_suite] - a suite of benchmarks designed to test and compare

453+ Later, the project was adopted by the Rust GameDev WG
454+ so that all Rust ECS developers can converge on a neutral,
455+ community-maintained benchmark.

592+
593+ [ inline_tweak] by [ @Uriopass ] is a library that allows you to
594+ tweak at runtime any number literal directly from your code.
595+ It works by parsing the file when a change occurs
596+ (inspired by [ this blogpost] [ tuxedolabs-post ] from Tuxedo labs).
597+ Usage example:
598+
599+ ``` rust
600+ use inline_tweak :: tweak;
601+ loop {
602+ // Try changing the value while the application is running
603+ println! (" {}" tweak! (3.14 ));
604+ }
605+ ```
606+
607+ A ` watch!() ` macro that sleeps until the file is modified is also provided.
608+
609+ The library is minimal, only requiring the ` lazy_static ` dependency
610+ to hold modified values.
611+ In release mode, the tweaking code is disabled and compiled away.

618+
619+ [ yacurses] by [ @Lokathor ] is a cross-platform curses bindings crate that's
620+ small, simple, easy to understand, and most importantly safe to use.
621+ It wraps over ` ncurses ` on Unix and a bundled ` pdcurses ` on Windows.
622+ If you're looking to make a terminal-based roguelike
623+ (or any other terminal-based game), give it a try.
